Durant averaged 35.2 points over the five-game series against the Cavaliers. In a most attractive and poetic finish, the Warriors, who came into Monday night's game leading the Finals series 3-1, pulled off a flawless victory and won the game with a 9 point lead, leaving no doubt that they are the champions.

Burnley's Tom Heaton will play the first half of the friendly in Paris , with Jack Butland of Stoke City playing the second. But it was his revelation that Stones, Manchester City's £50 million centre-half , was being considered for a switch into unfamiliar territory that piqued most interest.

While he did not clarify Toni's role going forward, he expressed delight in the dynamic he feels among his support staff. "I think the doubts or [that I] don't consider myself very, very good let me work so hard all my career". Nadal, who has now won 15 grand slam titles in total, was never troubled in a one-sided final. He played 4 1/2 hours against world No. 1 Andy Murray in Friday's semifinals but said his fitness wasn't the issue.

He did so again in the 49th minute as his slightly-late shoulder charge on Liam Coltman gave Sopoaga the chance to reduce the lead to a two-point game, which he duly took. The Highlanders decided against performing a haka before the match and were instead led out by a piper before captain Luke Whitelock handed Warburton a giant claymore sword.

The resulting free kick was floated into the box and Serbia midfielder Luka Milivojevic completed a comedy of errors when he pulled back Sam Vokes , leaving Ramsey to beat Stojkovic with a dinked penalty in the 35th minute amid a chorus of jeers.

This time, James gave way to KD, who was the NBA Finals MVP 10 years after being picked second in the NBA draft behind Greg Oden. The Warriors team is one of the best squads of all time, winning 73 games past year, and having both of the last two NBA MVPs.
